I got a B, but I think its cause he had pitty on our class. It may be different in regular semesters, but Summer was a butt-kicker! He is very argumentative, and he thinks he is always right! He is also quick to let you know he is a tenured professor, and nothing you do can change that! BUT he is hilarious too! :)
TERRIBLE
He definitely thinks that he is right and let's you know that he is tenured BUT one good thing is that his class is graded differently. It is 85-100 for an A, 75-85 for a B, 65-75 for a C, 60-65 for a D and all else is F. Also be sure to read the syllabus because he will refer to it if someone doesn't follow it!
Opinionated. Made **** remarks Offends his audience.DO NOT TAKE HIM.
Worst Teacher I've ever had. Opinionated. Spent 35 mins out 50 talking down on conservatives and making innapropriate comments to students. He should be a role modeel. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!! comments
International trade. he was a good professor. you have to study a lot on your own though, because you can get behind in the lectures really fast and once you get behind its impossible to catch up until you study for the actual test. he also expects you to remember everything of 2106, which not everyone did. all in all, he was a good professor.
Very hard professor. Makes inappropriate statements to students, doesn't give enough time to complete tests, doesn't give help to students when they ask for help, and expects everyone to have prior knowledge of Economics. Don't take him.
Bad time management. His jokes and stories take up valuable class time. Unwilling to help. Sometimes makes offensive comments and jokes at the expense of students. Never on time to class.
Unless you have taken Econ 2106, DON'T take this class. He expects you to know Econ 2106..so unless you are prepared to be humiliated don't take him. Ignores the students doing poorly & mediocre & favors those getting all A's.
The WORST teacher I have ever had. Expected prior knowledge of Economics. Made inappropriate comments to female students and spent most of his class time talking about himself. He read off grades from the first test with the expectation that the high scorers should teach the low scorers instead of him. I managed an A because I read the book.
this guy is funny as****. his class is really easy if u read the book. if your dumb dont take him cause he will rag on you the entire time
He is a joke, or should i say he tell to many of them. He doesn't keep up with homework assignments and quizzes, so once u do them don't expect them back in the right sequence. Class is always behind and it is always your fault. Plan to argue on a daily bases with him, he acts like your parent with the LECTURES everyday!!!! JUST RUN!!!
Always gets off topic to give life stories, then blames the students for being behind. Not enough time to take tests, too much homework as if it's the only class students have to take. Likes to embarrass students who are having a hard time understanding. Not willing to help needy students. Knows economics but expects you to know it already also
Good professor for Economic Development not good for an intro Econ class 2105 or 2106, and he graduated for NC A&T so don't let him convince you other wise; He's an alright professor, but would completely avoid unless you are an economics major
Please do not get him off topic! Once he gets off it take him a while to get back on. He is very headstrong and things are either his way or no way. He ALWAYS refers to the book and you must have it. He does give alot of grades and his grading scale helps you get an A [ 85 to 100 ] Has a strong african accent.
If you have a choice, you shouldn't take his class, especially not in the summer. I had to teach myself with the book and the quizzes he gave us before every test. He got off on a lot of irrelevant tangents and tells a lot of stories and "jokes". He knows his stuff, he just can't relate it very well. Also, his voice took me a week to get used to.
Hard to understad.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. He is terrible! His rude remarks to students, his hard head, and bad jokes ruin the class. The tests are really hard. I basically taught myself everything I learned in this class. He knows his stuff, but doesn't know how to teach. I do not recommend him at all. Oh, and if you take him, BUY THE BOOK!
Dr. A was a great teacher. Friendly. Got Jokes.Hes really knowledgeable & I knows him stuff. He has a lot of life story in class. They are very interesting.He will know your name. Attendance is mandatory. I love going to his class. Test Superr Hard. Have to be able to memorize to pass. Bad Memory equal Bad Grades.I got a C [Lowest Grade in College]
DO NOT TAKE! you can never disagree with him or else he will continue to berate you infront of the class. if you get him off topic he will talk about anything but economic like his ghana upbringing. tests are extremely hard if you dont read because dont expect him to teach; espescially if you need help
I didn't listen to these comments and I regret that. Dr. Amponsah is honestly an awful teacher. I don't doubt that he knows his info, but he's not good at conveying it. He gets off topic ALL the time and enjoys calling students out and making inappropriate and rude comments. I managed a B, but that's only because of my high school econ teacher.
"Terrible" is really the only word to describe him. He started the semester saying his was tenured and nothing we say can get him to leave. So pretty much avoid him if you can.
Okay, he's a cool person very funny and stuff but as a teacher...uh. He gives A LOT of take home quizzes-good and bad thing-the quizzes are 30 questions long and very hard. He gets off topic in lecture but the good thing is if you have perfect attendance that's extra 5% on final grade.
He is terrible, if you have to take him for an intro class your going to be screwed. The only reason I got through international trade with him is because I had good intro teachers
Amponsah decided to change major course policy on dropping the lowest exam grade w/o tellin any1 in our class. Although he will vehemently deny it, he consistently interrupts class to preach his religious and political views, well lose track of time and blames it on the students for not getting to the material. Ppl are not graduating because of him
Dr.Amponsah is a NIGHTMARE, he called a fat kid a "happy hippo" because he did well on his exam. Made jokes about this one kid from Hondoras saying that they "dont even have dvd players where he's from...". To top it off, after we filled in reviews for him, he said that he could do whatever he wanted in spite of us now there in. STAY AWAY.
Flat out this professor is S**T. He's rude, opinionated, head strong, and offensive. Please avoid this guy at all costs. He will only hurt your GPA.
This guy is very different. Hard to understand. Waste alot of time on pointless things not related to the class. Doesn't explain things clearly. I would NOT recommend him.
This professor SUCKS. He is not helpful with ANYTHING and will call you out in class in a heart beat. He is a jerk, and is never willing to help you if you have questions. Everything is the classes fault if you do poorly. The class average of tests never went about a 65...do NOT take him!
PEOPLE GIVE HIM A HARD TIME BUT THIS SEMESTER AS MY TEACHER HE WAS REAL HELPFUL. HE EVEN HELD STUDY SESSIONS BEFORE ALMOST EVERY TEST IDK TOO MANY PROFESSORS DOING THAT, HE ALSO ENCOURAGES GROUP WORK AND IS IN HIS OFFICE IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO SPEAK TO HIM AND INTERACT IN CLASS DISCUSSIONS YOU WILL DO FINE! THE COOLER YOU ARE WITH HIM HE WILL BE.
I took Dr. A's class when he 1st came to GSU.He's the typical African man,bull-headed, always right.Test questions were from the online book guide.I got 100 on the 2nd test.I barely went to class b/c I figured out what to study on my own.I showed up to class late daily to challenge him. I got an A.If you want to argue with him,u better b prepared
Great professor. Will teach you all the economics you will love to know.
Good guy, lectures get off topic 98% of the time but it is usually about current economic events. You learn a lot more than what the syllabus teaches you. An 85 is an A in his class and he gives out about 3 extra credit opportunities and is always willing to help. He wants his students to pass and enjoy econmics. Would recommend!
Cool Guy. Sticks to the powerpoints and also provides them online for you to print. Quizes are take home so you can study them and find the answers to help make sure your getting the right information. Good Professor. Learned a lot after the semester ended!
Very helpful yet misunderstood at times. He does get off topic easily, but only because he's passionate about the subject. Kinda hard to understand but very funny and a overall good prof.
Would not help at all and is very arogant. If you ask a question you won't get a response most of the time. DO NOT TAKE HIM. That is all.
Gets off topic, teaches politics more than economics.
Allthough he does get off topic and gives "life lessons" it was pretty easy...my GPA sucks and I got an A in his summer course. all of the homework was online, and the tests were straight from the homework(allthough he re-worded a few to confuse us) very opinionated but overall a really smart guy.. I wouldnt take him as a freshman though.
I started off liking him. He knows his stuff, is funny, and passionate. But he likes to pu students' business out in the open, gets off topic way too much, then we run out of time in class to prepare for his exams, which are worded tricky. Although he cares about most students, he criticizes and generalizes his students as lazy Americans.
DO NOT take this kat over the summer.Dr. A is very condescending. I made a C out of my time with him and that was with severe effort. He moves stupid fast through the text book. If you like Econ, youll like the rigor.. otherwise steer clear from Dr. A. Hes not someone to expect a lot of understanding out of.
Goes on crazy tangents in a 50 minute class, yet requires attendance. He said in the beginning if you receive an A on every exam you can exempt the final, yet he told me I have to take the final because I have 7 absences, which is my main problem with him. Overall he is helpful if you seek it out and knows what he is talking about.
Good teacher, hard to understand sometimes due to his accent.
I like professor Amponsah as a person. He is very nice and is understanding if you have to miss class for reasons like funerals. In class, he would go off on long tangents that didn't really relate to Economics, and even after going to class, many times I didn't have any more notes than I did when I first downloaded them online. Nice but not great.
Worst teacher I've ever had at any level.
Terrible professor,constantly off on tangents about how it's the students fault that they are failing. We actually made a game of seeing how long he went off topic in the 50 minute class. The average of him actually talking about the subject was about 15 minutes. The rest useless. I got an A but not because of him. Read the book do the quizzes.
Do Not Take Him! He is impractical about anything and everything. He grades super hard. Never on subject, he goes on rants about how the USA and Ga Southern Students are lazy. He will talk about your grade out loud to the class so if you are doing bad he will let everyone know. Strict attendance policy. Save yourself the trouble and don't take him!
Horrible professor. Goes on rants for more than half the class which have nothing to do with what your learning. How is a FYE class this difficult?
You NEED the book and you MUST read it for this class. Do the assignments on time and you will be fine. He does get off topic and rant a lot but he's a really nice professor. He does have views on Americans, but different cultures have different ethics at times. He's a nice guy and quite helpful. I got an A.
Took class during Summer, which meant it moved fast. But overall the material was well covered as long as you read the text and asked questions relative to the information. Although he appears to go off topic he often attempts to relate everyday stuff to ECON so that it's clear, but occasionally it doesn't relate. Would take his class again!
I could write a whole paragraph about this guy but just know that he is horrible. What everyone else put on here is true. DON'T TAKE HIM! Save your GPA!
Worst teacher on Georgia Southern's campus. Complains that students do nothing but complain and are not willing to work, and we are all lazy. Very confusing and if you ask a question he RARELY answers it, instead he rants about you not paying attention or having "the principles of economics" SAVE YOUR GRADE, DO NOT TAKE!
Not clear at all. Worst teacher I have taken in my time here. Accent is hard to understand and goes off tanget many times. Tests are over things in the book and little over what he talked about in class. Do not take him.
I didn't really feel like I learned anything during lectures. Likes to tell a lot of stories instead of addressing content, and it's frustrating at times. He is willing to meet and work with you though. If you aren't looking to set aside a good amount of time to study, I don't suggest taking this class.
He's hard! If you get a 85+ in the class, that's an A. He's very hard to understand, he uses the PPT but never explains it (so you need to always read), Google the Aplia quizzes and homework, there always online. GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS & STUDY SESSIONS, you may not gain clarity but he will understand that you're trying. That's how I got an A.
This guy is great. He is very organized. You will know exactly what to do in this class. His attendance is strict. He likes to rant about Americans, but it is kinda funny at times. Make sure you do all the online stuff, which is weekly, very easy, and you should have no problem getting an A. He also gives a lot of bonus on his test. TAKE HIM!
Majority of the ratings are true! I tried giving him the benefit of the dobut and reget it! He gets off topic A LOT and his accent is difficult to understand. He will work with you but you have to stay in his office. When you go to his office he likes to call you out in class! If you can teach yourself take him. Do well on your Aplia assignments!
He knows economics,but not how to each it. All he did in my class was rant about my generation and how lazy we are. He then closed an assignment early, without telling the class, then reopened it, without telling the class. DO NOT TAKE HIM. And he really does go on tangents a lot. He often goes on tangents about how he doesn't go on tangents.
Very Easy class as long as you read the book and do online assignments, work on them during class time considering his lectures are absolutely worthless. Drops the lowest test grade and grades them very easily.
Yes he goes on tangents. Yes he has a accent, no he is not hard to understand. He is a helpful teacher and you will get an A if you read and do your work. He is also a very nice and smart man. I would recommend taking him.
Some of the criticism is true, however Amponsah gives his students every opportunity to succeed. If you find the lectures sprinkled with irrelevant info, go to the study sessions, as they are clear and more direct, containing less tangents and more testable material. Do assignments on time and attend study sessions. You get out what you put in.
worst professor i have had. he blabs on about nothing and goes "off tangent" about how people claim he goes "off tangent." test, quizzes and homework are really hard. I went to the campus tutor for help and he had no idea how to do some of the things. DO NOT TAKE HIM
He thinks he's the most important person in the whole ECON department and comes off very arrogant. Always blames others for stuff never himself. The tests are pretty tough and you use the Aplia assignments and the book to learn not him. Take someone else, but if you do take him do all the Aplia work they are then only things that will save you
Hes a helpful professor and is willing to make time to work with you on anything you are struggling with. Offers extra credit just for showing up to class. Nice and easy going. Lectures are actually a good part of my day. Gives good examples for every calculation. Adjusts class schedule to assure that the students have time to learn before exams.
I was fearful of Econ. I always thought it would NEVER be my thing, but this guy's great and I've actually learned something in his class! He's kind of a "fatherly figure" to the class -- all he wants to do is see you succeed and he WILL help you if you need it. Not very difficult of a class at all if you show up, I'd defiantly recommend!
def not as hard as everyone says they are. the same amount of work as a basic econ class. do the online assignments on time & it will help your grade. the tests aren't that hard if you study well. worst thing i'd say about him is that he makes you terrified to ask questions in class cos he'll make you look stupid & make you feel bad.
Easy class, but be prepared to teach yourself everything.
He definitely inspires his students to be more hardworking and jokes a lot about politics and economics. His lecture slides are very resourceful,you don't even need the textbook. Homeworks and quizzes are due every weekend. I would suggest you try to do them in smaller quantities as soon as he teaches it because they are usually 20-35 questions.
I'm an All A student and I barely made a B in this class even though I had a 98% on Hw and Quizzes. He rants about nonsense every single class, his teaching makes very little sense. He dropped his attendance policy but that's really the only good thing. I f you want to listen to his constant rants and mocking of students and take terrible tests go.
It's not impossible to get an a in this class, but you will have to work for it. I went to every class and it did not help much at all. The tests are also fairly hard so make sure you study. I liked him in the beginning, but towards the end i started to notice that he was kinda rude. He also goes on rants about not going on rants alot.
At first- I thought I was going to have problems with him. But as the semester progressed, I realized this guy really knew his stuff and that he really does care about his students. He says it all the time in class about how he cares. I can tell he has been given a hard time. I recommend! STUDYSTUDYSTUDY! USE THAT BOOK! GO TO REVIEW SESSIONS!
Be prepared to teach yourself every single thing.
I would recommend taking this class online if you can. The class is SO easy, you use myeconlab and he gives you three chances on homework so there is no reason not to get an A and then you have an unlimited chances on quizzes so again NO reason not to ace this class. First exam wasnt too bad made a 77. All in all I think I will pass with an A
Yes, this class was boring. No, attendance was not mandatory. Yes, his test are easy IF you pay attention to the power points in class. (not to mention they are online!) honestly this is an easy A if you go to class or don't. He gives many tries for the online homework and quizzes, and he is very understanding. don't be lazy and you will pass
Dr. Amponsah is one of the worst teachers I've ever had. He criticizes how people ask and answer questions in class so participating is uncomfortable and intimidating. He goes on rants ABOUT going on rants. While he makes it not too difficult to get a good grade with all the extra credit, don't expect to actually learn anything.
I would recommend taking his online class. We use my econlab you get three or two chances on your homework and quizzes which was cool. He wasn't the best teacher. He gets an attitude when you ask him questions but then preaches about how his students doesn't ask him questions. Just be prepared to get LONG emails about him complaining about NOTHING!
One of the worst professors I've ever had! He is so annoying always ranting about nothing ! His lectures are pointless ! Just read your textbook and look at his powerpoints. He started with no attendance policy and got mad that people didn't come to class so he made one. Sends you pointless long emails. Stay away from him if you can please !
I had Dr. A a few years ago for the FYE class "Africa's Odious Debts". It kinda hurts to see all these comments about him because he was, and still is one of my favorite professor at GSU. When he says he cares about your success, he really means it. If you ask for help, he will help you.
I took Dr. Amponsah for Online Econ. He is a fantastic professor and is willing to do whatever he can to help you. As long as you do the homework on myeconlab and understand it you can pass with an A. It's not hard, just a little time consuming. I would definitely take him again.
Highly would NOT recommend this professor. He cannot stay on topic to save his life, he will go off topic just to explain that he doesn't go off topic. He will send you weird emails everyday that have no meaning to anyone. Pointless to attend class besides attendance is mandatory. You have to teach yourself all the material. Do not take him!
Such such such a sweet man. He is very foreign so I think that is why people do not like him but he really is helpful, understanding, and always there for his students! He does go off topic sometimes but so do all teachers. I got an A in the class and I am a B average student....I say take him!
Course content was easy, online assignments were easy. Do not expect any help from him through email. He will go out of his way to not answer your questions and attenpt to make you feel dumb. Instead of answering simple questions he will write an essay about how you and other students misunderstand him creating more work for both parties.
People are really tough on Dr. A, but he's a cool guy that cares about his students. He is somewhat hard to understand, but you get used to it. He is actually a pretty funny guy. He knows every student by their first name, even if they haven't said a word in class. All of the tests and assignments were online, which is awesome. Not a bad teacher.
Incredibly unprofessional, rude to students and will not answer questions. Attempts to make students feel stupid while also spreading his ideology throughout the entire class period, instead of teaching. Easy material, however don't expect to be taught anything in class. Prepare to be attacked via Mass Email if you don't understand something.
Hard tests. Unwilling to work with students. He will call you out in class if you are on your phone or sleeping and embarrass you in front of the class. He is also hard to understand because of his accent. Do yourself a favour and don't take this class.
1. Hard to understand due to his accent 2. Be prepared to teach yourself everything 3. Gives extra time on HW when necessary 4. Postpones exams when students aren't ready 5. HW is online and is usually due a week later, if not longer 6. Two tries on HW assignments 7. Textbooks and presentations take forever to read 8. Lots to study
Often goes off topic during the lecture then complains about being behind in class. Also complains about lack of attendance in class but he doesn't have an attendance policy in place. He'll say he is your "friend" but he's far from it. He comes off racist as well as sexist and thrives off making you feel dumb for asking a question in class.
Dr. Amponsah was okay at first. He likes to go off topic and talk about random things that you will most likely not understand. He is a very unclear professor who is either uncaring or naive to the fact that he does not answer your questions. Switched up how quizzes worked halfway through the semester. Class seemed to get worse throughout semester.
Comes off as very friendly in the beginning, he always refers to himself as "your friend", so hard to understand bc of his accent, no attendance policy so i just stopped coming to class (even tho he complains when no one shows) everything is done online so as long as u study the book you'll be fine. Nice person but terrible professor.
Professor is nice ,but goes off topic so much that its hard to keep track of what he is even talking about. The lectures will put you straight to sleep. One annoying thing about the online hw is that he changed his hw and quizzes. Sometimes it wouldn't give examples on how to do a problem if you weren't sure. Also, you do not get unlimited tries.
He is a terrible teacher. He is rude, and tells all of your business to the class through email and in class. He does not care about his students, and he barely teaches. DO NOT TAKE HIM, AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS.
He isn't a bad professor. He tries to break everything down for students to understand. He may go off topic here and there but nothing that'll make you lost! The quizzes and homework on myecon lab are super easy and most of the answers are online! You really have to study for his exams to pass but they are not impossible. He gives bonus points!
Wouldn't take this professor, he is a nice guy but not the best professor. He always talks about off topic subjects for a majority of class, but says he's not off topic. Tests are extremely hard and not like homework and quizzes. Unless you are good at teaching yourself I would stay away.
He only opens online exams for one day and refuses to work with students if they run into a technical issue.
Can be very rude and always finds a way to blame us even when its not our fault. He always goes off topic during lectures and has a thick accent. Test were pretty easy but gave way too much homework.
I am an online student in my 30s who has encountered all types of people through the years and Dr. Amponsah is hands down the worst professor I have ever run across. He is rude, condescending, and utterly unhelpful. I had to file a formal complaint with the University, which I ultimately won, regarding one of my exams. Whatever you do, stay away!
He is honestly one of my least favorite professors. He gets off on tangents and comes across as a very insecure man, yet a very loud opinionated man. He spends the first fifteen minutes of class complaining and then I can't focus the rest of class. Honestly, don't take his class.
Ive never disliked a professor more. I have seen him get physical with students in a way that makes me uncomfortable. Fortunately our tests were online, so I stopped showing up to class because all he did was complain & get upset with us. I should have filed a formal complaint bc there were so many times he was inappropriate, rude & unprofessional
Dr. Amponsah does not deserve a lot of the reviews that he has been given. Sure, his tests aren't super easy but they are very manageable if you actually study and put in work outside of class. Homework isn't too daunting and you are able to work in groups for quizzes. He is just a professor who expects his students to put in effort to pass.
Dr. Amponsah gets a bad rep, but he's not that bad. People complain about him on Ratemyprofessors a lot, but all you have to do is do the homework due every tuesday and study for his test. He cares a lot about you passing, but he wants you to work for it. A lot of people failed the first test and he let us re-take it.
He does have a heavy accent and tells a lot of stories that do connect in someway or another to whatever he is teaching. He does expect you to not talk or have your phone out since he feels you might not be able to learn to your best capacity if you or him are distracted. He is not the professor for everyone and you can definitely tell by day one.
Professor goes on tangents rather than teaching the material. If you go in for extra help, he will most likely end up talking about whats going on in his life. Great person, but not the best professor to teach these concepts.
I definitely do not recommend him unless you are prepared to teach yourself. He is so condensing and claims to be a "friend", yet he will call you out for a bad grade. He should not be teaching an online class. He could not even upload our tests without help and emailed the entire class calling people out for asking questions.
This was an online class for me. Online textbook was provided, but after the first exam, I didn't use it. He is really great about helping his students, gives detailed answers over email to questions, and gives extra credit work. Do the extra credit, even if you don't know it! And watch videos on khan academy (this is super important!)
DO NOT take this guy in an online class. He has no idea how to upload instructions for his assignments(he just uploads the template with no real information). I had no idea we had a test like the second or third week of class and missed it because the only place to find it was in the syllabus' schedule. There was no mention of it anywhere else.
Don't take his class online. He seems like a nice professor but is not very good at facilitating an online class. Most answers can be found on Quizlet or Socrative. If you miss a test you better have died because he won't except many excuses. He does make that very clear in his syllabus though.
Dr. Amponsah is fairly strict, but straightforward in his expectations and grading decisions. Big on formality and student responsibility. He will work with you if you have an issue or questions, but a majority of the class was self guided and taught by independent study. Enjoyed the class and it was easy to succeed if you keep up with the content
ABSOLUTLYthe worst professor I have ever had First 4 lectures did not once mention anything one topic just talks about his morals and opinions on random politics repeats himself over and over he is like an old man who doesn't get to talk to anybody He posts so much useless info online to shift threw and gives contradictory due dates and noInstrucio
Spends a lot of time in class talking over random things not related to the material. The homework is done completely online however it is worded badly and is unclear about how it wants you to answer it. The professor is unwilling to work with you when you talk to him and often belittles you for asking questions.
He gets a bad rep but I don’t think that shows who he is at all. I can agree he's not the best teacher but he’s honestly a great guy and one of my favorite teachers. You will have to study by yourself if you want to succeed, but this is a college level course so that is expected. Wouldn’t even call myself smart but I study so I did fine
He is fine. Everyone hates him because they don't apply themselves. He had many review sessions He actually cared The test are easy He makes notes for you The fact that students do poorly is mind-boggling.
Easily worst professor at Southern, any review you read that says he is not that bad is lying to you. Sitting in his class was the worst experience of my life. All the bad reviews are true and the good reviews are not critical enough on him. BAD professor.
Very boring lectures, claims he has many A's and B's but more than half of the class withdrew after majority failed first two exams. When you try to talk to him he will make an example of you in front of the class. Doesn't answer questions and will respond to you with a question or tell you to figure it out on your own. Do not recommend taking!
The worst type of professor ever. I know he tried his best but the course was just awful. I stopped coming to class after the 3rd day because the class wasn't helpful. The average score on the first test was 58. I used to like economics until I met him. Self-study is the only way to get good grades, power points and exercises are helpful for tests.
Worst lectures of my entire career, I stayed lost in class, and after the first week we had about 10 people left in what I would say was probably around 25-30 to start off with
this was one of the worst professors I have ever had in my life. He was disrespectful and overall an embarrassment to our university. this professor has been accused of sexual assault 4 times, so if you area woman who values being heard and respected and being treated equal and expects basic human rights do not take this mans class.
Worst professor I've had by far! I've never withdrawn from a class but I had to with him. Not only did he blame students for being confused but also shamed them. It was impossible to find assignments & deadlines set for the class. He wouldn't take any responsibility himself. He also created a lot more extra work than needed! AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS!
